What to Eat, a shake-to-decide dinner picker, is on the App Store

TLDR What to Eat is live on the App Store. Shake the phone and it picks dinner, either something to cook or a cuisine to go out for, and every rejection narrows the field instead of reshuffling it. Free, offline, with an optional Plus subscription.

What to Eat: Shake & Decide is on the App Store, free, for iPhone.

It exists to end the "I don't know, what do you want?" conversation. Shake the phone and it picks dinner. Tap Nope and that dish is gone for the rest of the day, so nothing comes round twice. Tap Cook it and you are done.

What it does

Two modes. Cook at Home suggests something to make and opens the recipe. Eat Out suggests a cuisine and hands you to Maps to find it nearby.

Real food, not a word wheel. 396 dishes across 25 cuisines, 353 of them with an ingredients list and a method, each tagged by effort, rough cost and which meal it suits.

Filters that actually filter. 168 vegetarian dishes, 57 vegan, 201 gluten free. Cap the effort, cap the budget, and permanently skip cuisines you do not like.

No veto loops. Every rejection narrows the field rather than reshuffling it, and one tap starts the day over if you run the list out.

Your own list. Add your go-to dinners and favourite local places, then shake through just those.

Completely offline. Everything ships inside the app. No account, no sign in, no network, and nothing about you leaves the phone.

What it costs

Free. What to Eat Plus is an optional subscription at US$1.99 a month or US$9.99 a year, and lifts the limit on your own list, unlocks full history, and adds the budget, effort and cuisine filters.

Get it on the App Store.
